    Bit late for that now.

    What's the alternative?

    China locked down hard, while controlling borders.

    Now there is normality.

    What is the point of a lockdown otherwise?

    You can't expect to keep locking people down for years.

    Are the surprised people are tired of SD after 5 months.?

    I'd rather get some medical advice off Michael Jacksons doctor, than Glynn.

    That lad should concentrate more of his time on being a doctor, and less on being a media personality

    Good to see the GAA put it up to Glynn to provide his evidence

    The relevant part of the GAA statement is the following.

    The GAA and its members remain at all times committed to protecting public health.

    Which means that the GAA can question Glynn or any other health authority person all they want but at the end of the day they will go along with the new regulations.

    I think they left weddings alone because they didnt want to be fielding questions from Zara King about them anymore......

    Hasn't happened yet but is being discussed

    How can you have matches where the parents bring kids to matches but have to go away?

    Sure but they will keep the pressure up on him to justify his decisions

    I'm sure he has all the data available no bother

    There is so many of these celebrity doctors popping up. I agree GPS should concentrate on looking after their patients in the height of a pandemic than trying to carve out new media careers.

    Martina, as one of the rare few that actually has a bit of knowledge about testing, labs and so on - what do you make of the disparity between positive cases from the dashboard and then the daily case numbers that get announced each day?

    The idea that these numbers are being "held back" on purpose is, to me, complete tinfoil hat stuff, but do have any insight yourself?
    I don't know why that disparity suddenly started occurring. There have been a few theories mentioned here but no one knows for sure.

    Perhaps when large outbreaks have been discovered they wait to notify all those cases together to the HSPC.

    I dont think its a conspiracy to purposely hold back cases. I think it was a change in the method of reporting.

    Personally I don't see it happening. The cases are now too high and increasing. You can't open something new when r rate is high and has been for well over a month.

    There will be another lockdown next month here and the North.

    R rate is 1.6 in both jurisdictions.

    Funny that considering they have followed our guidelines throughout.

    So it's not some bar in Dublin at the weekend or a meat plant in offaly. The policys in the North are the same, the level of disease are the same. The problem is not the people but the policies.

    Lockdown next month and then control our borders. Should have been done in June instead of this car crash.

    I think an issue was the slowness to react to the situation and to be chasing the tail of covid instead of being ‘ahead’ of the curve and proactive... even if that meant a lot of people were accusing the authorities of ‘overkill’... that’s better than ‘covid kill’... the problem now really is the personal responsibilities and behaviors of large parts of the community, business and social...just hasn’t been up to the required standards to enable the out from this shîtshow.... people are the problem.

    For some reason I thought Claire Byrne was on this show. Turned it off once that other yoke appeared.

    Slimey Donnelly on as well. No thanks.

    Yet they'll find a tweet from some obscure lecturer in Uzbekistan which contradicts what 99% of medical professionals say and repost it over and over again.

    I'm delighted to see Irish medical professionals using social media to try and combat some of the disinformation.

    What is our record number of weekly tests? Has this purported 100k capacity actually been properly tested?

    Can you please produce evidence about this? The ECDC on RTÉ today refuted your contention that you are constantly raising.

    A thought experiment if you will.

    A deadly disease with an Ro of 3 and a doubling time of 4 days is squashed
    in hiberina (a fictional island in north Western Europe). through the hard work of the public respecting public health measures and harsh restrictions.

    They are now enjoying the fruits of their labour and can move freely about without hindrance or fear of contracting the virus. Croke park is full of 80,000 fans and kids can all go to school. The only continuing sacrifice is that tourism is not permitted and anyone arriving must quarantine for 14 days and test negative for the virus. This has been the situation for 100 days.

    If the virus is to reemerge how the fvck will it NOT come from travel given that there is zero virus on the island of Hibernia and the people their don't eat bats from where the virus came?

    Yes europe and ECDC seem to be doing a great job. Cases rising in practically every european country. I'm not saying ECDC are doing a great job or most of Europe either. Look to Asian countries Vietnam/China/South Korea. They all have strict borders.

    New Zealand gets a few cases and it's an excuse to shame them, pathetic. We're also comparing ourselves to them but couldn't a few days ago.

    Think ~60k is highest
    The 100k is fairytale stuff, will never ever ever be used, we can barely cope with 5k a day atm
